Simulation and Modeling of Turbulent Flows

"Filled with state-of-the-art information on turbulence model development. . .This book presents shining examples of the advances over the past decade or two."--Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society<br> "Essential to turbulence workers and students. . . .Belongs in all technical libraries. . . .Ideal for a second course in turbulence. The book's price, under $40, should be attractive to all, especially students. It gives the most value per dollar (~11 cents per page) yet seen by this reviewer."--Applied Mechanics Reviews<br>
